Floored.
After a day of coffee then working on my herb garden, raking and mowing, I went to a birthday party at my best friends. I didnāt expect to see her parents as they live in Florida, these guys have been like my parents since I was a teen. When my dad died, her dad filled in completely. I was with them most every day but dad and I have this crazy bond because when his own kids would ignore him, I would sit with him and talk for hours. Well at the party he told me he wanted me to look at something, I assumed it was for the birthday girl. They dimmed the lights and he had me unwrap it. Andā¦he made me this amazing work of art!!! Iāve waited at least a decade for my own piece, my ex happens to also be his son so when I had to give the original piece he made us back to him I was super bummed. Not anymore!!! Iām feeling shocked, surprised and loved. 
Fucking gorgeous!!

Empowered. First time out, day 16, and not tempted or craving. But then again my drinking was never about being social.
Thankfulll. I know there are only 2 lās but thatās only 9 letters lol

And why are we scared today? Iām sure someone here can help!
Hey! Thatās not necessarily a bad thing. I struggle with going overboard but you should feel good about yourself. You should love yourself. You should have high self esteem. Youāre sober damnit and that means a lot.
Love you @anon37742172 !!

Scared of all the changes in my life and whether Iāll really pull off sobriety this time. Iām already telling myself my 2 favorite lies, which contradict each other. 1. You really donāt have a problem. 2. This is just who you are, youāre never going to be able to quit, so just deal with it.

Well in that case Iād say itās good you are scared. Use that emotion to push you forward and help yourself. I think we can agree that number 1 is a lie. I know it is for me. Number 2, well thatās who I am for sure, but Iāve been quit for almost a year. I fight a battle against it everyday, but Iām definately winning.
Use whatever you have at your disposal. Fear is a big one I embrace and overcome. Emotions are a new thing everyday it seems, but we were made to have them. Sometimes I hate that and it spurs on my fears. Humans emote. We are human.
Just remember that thereās a ton of us going through this and we are all here for each other. I hope you can beat this day and feel less scared tomorrow. You are strong and wonderful! Donāt ever forget it!
